We're talking coming out tonight. We still live in a world where many people feel the need to 'come out of the closet' - or not. Names, orientations, genders, identities - sometimes it feels there's a lot of things we're obliged to let on just to get on with it. Sai debuts as they, Nicky, Nida and Yen talk out their own experiences with coming out about different things to different people at different times. And you? You do you.

Apologies - due to issues with the station and original broadcast, there are some patches of interference that we couldn't completely remove.

Courtney and Daria open your eyes to Transgender Day of Visibility. What do we mean when we talk about visibility in 2017? How do commemorations like these aid our trans siblings and the community at large? Listen in as our heroes hold Court on these questions and more!

Nicky, Nida and Daria take a warts-and-all look at the third season (well, all three seasons really, but mainly the third) of Transparent, Amazon's drama-comedy about the family of a trans parent. (Oh! That's what that means.) Themes of Jewishness, gender (trans-, cis- and otherwise), stereotypes, representation, family, catchphrases and more get the FNLS treatment this week.

(Apologies: some ongoing equipment issues have left some small amounts of interference in this episode.)

A week out from the Women's March, Jill and Daria talk about their time at the local March on Canberra. They also look over some of the reactions from people around the world - positive and negative - and bring you some footage straight from the March itself. All this, and Daria wants to do homages.

What inspired this? Listen to the episode (or check out the links) to find out!

Positive and diverse sex educators Birds, Bees & Other Bits put on a special Q&A panel discussion, 'Tapping into Transgender'. In this extra-length special, we bring you coverage of that afternoon, with much fun and learning from experienced panellists and an eager audience.

(Note - this was recorded live at the venue, so sound quality varies.)

This week we have a special guest from across the world! (Quebec, actually.) Izzy and Daria were thrilled to be joined by Sophie Labelle of globally appreciated transgender-themed Assigned Male to talk about her comic, her work, her activism and her world.

The 22nd of January 2016 was the first ever International Trans Prisoner Day of Action and Solidarity. In this Friday Night Lip Service, Daria and Jill will be joined by Jenni to talk about this important day for this important cause, why there needs to be a day, what you can learn and how you can help.

A podcast-exclusive special edition! Friday Night Lip Service presents for you the a live event produced by some Lipsters and friends from the Tranz Collective and the ANU Queer Department. The event was a panel discussion called 'Trans* Passing and Passing Privilege: The Upsides and Downsides'.

Seven people who are all trans or sex and/or gender diverse speak about what passing means to them. This is followed up by questions and answers from the audience.

'Successfully (convincingly) presenting one’s preferred gender image. May be intentional or unintentional. Passing is a contentious term in transgender communities, and has different meanings for different people. For example, many trans people do not feel that they are presenting as anything but themselves, whereas “passing” seems to imply that they are fooling people or hiding something. In addition some trans people do not desire to “pass” as non-trans, but rather to be respected for their identity and expression, even though people know that their gender identity or expression is different from the one typically associated with their sex.'
